Your site should have an emergency plan which deals with:

  • fire
  • bomb threats
  • gas and chemical leaks
  • water
  • motor accidents
  • structural collapse.

The emergency plan should provide the following:

  • a warning device for evacuation
  • the nominated site personnel responsible for managing emergencies
  • the correct way to behave in emergency situations
  • contact information for emergency situations.
